Which statement is true? A. |–8|< |8| B. |–2| > 1 C. |–7| = –7 D. |12| > |–15|

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

do you know what the vertical lines around the numbers mean? - the absolute value?

OpenStudy (linn99123):

no D:

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

they mean the positive value eg |–8| = 8 , |8| is also equal to 8

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

nor sure how those question marks got there it was meant to be negative 8

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

|–8|< |8| means 8 < 8 which is obviously incorrect what about the other option?
